Here is Why Chance the Rapper is the Most Accomplished Independent Artist

The blessings
are surely falling in Chance the Rapper’s lap. The Chi-Town native, took home 3
Grammy awards from his 7 nominations last night for best new artist, rap
performance, and album! This is the musician, songwriter, and activist’s first
Grammy win at the age of 23. You sure don’t want any problems with Chance. After
6 years of being active in music, he still refrains from signing to a label,
becoming the first streaming-only artist to snag a Grammy nomination.

Chance’s
second mixtape, Acid Rap, had put him on the map to feature with many hip-hop
moguls like Kanye West, Jay-Z and Beyoncé. These connections led him to be the
first independent artist to perform on SNL, twice at that! Also, the first to
perform at the Espy’s. Along with his burning desire to incorporate his
spiritual beliefs and signature pitch in his music, is the compassion he has
for the city of Chicago. He organized his own iconic festival with over 47,000
fans, setting a record at the newly improved Soldier Field Stadium. The family
man never forgets where he comes from and reassures his audiences of the beauty
within the controversial city. Let’s not forget the most important thing…his
music is free! Chance the Rapper has officially set the bar high.
